Axios is reporting today that a leaked memo reveals that the Department of Homeland Security is preparing for violence from the left when the final Supreme Court ruling on Roe v Wade is announced:
The U.S. government is bracing for a potential surge in political violence once the Supreme Court hands down the ruling that’s expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Axios.
Law enforcement agencies are investigating social-media threats to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship and abortion clinics.
The unclassified May 13 memo by DHS’ intelligence arm says threats that followed the leak of a draft opinion — targeting Supreme Court Justices, lawmakers and other public officials, as well as clergy and health care providers — “are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling.”
“Some racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists’ embrace of pro-life narratives may be linked to the perception of wanting to ‘save white children’ and ‘fight white genocide,'” the memo also says.
But the memo warns that this time, extremist acts could come from abortion-rights proponents as well.
This time? THIS TIME? You mean it’s going to be just like 2020 all over again. Which means you can fully expect Black Lives Matter and Antifa groups to be out in force burning down police stations, interrupting traffic, looting and destroying stores and rioting in general.
But hey, at least they admit that the left is preparing for violence. Normally they just pretend it never happens.
When you break down the social media threats mentioned in the article, “to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship and abortion clinics”, you can be sure that’s nearly all going to be from the left. After all, everyone on the right will be cheering this decision, assuming it hasn’t changed since the leaked draft opinion.
But, just like 2020, you can be sure that the federal government, national politicians and city and state leaders, will bend over backwards to make sure you know that whatever happens will be based in legitimate anger or something:
“The mere advocacy of political or social positions, political activism, use of strong rhetoric, or generalized philosophic embrace of violent tactics does not constitute domestic violent extremism or illegal activity and is constitutionally protected.”
Only when the left riots do we get statements like this…
